How to play Beetle Battle event in Genshin Impact

Onikabuto essentially inflicts damage by tackling the other bug with their horns. During the duel, each insect has their own health bar and a stamina bar. The objective here is to deplete the opponent's option before they reduce yours.

You can move your Onikabuto either forward or backward. You should note you will consume stamina each time you do this to close in on your enemy or to flee from incoming attacks. Moreover, you can deplete higher amounts of stamina by charging an attack and tackling your foe to inflict damage.

Some Onikabuto can perform special moves, like conjuring a small lighting attack. When one of these is used, you can cast a shield and guard yourself from the incoming hit.

Using your stamina efficiently and evading incoming damage should not be too difficult to win in the Beetle Battle event.

Controlling the Onikabuto during battle is fairly simple due to the one-dimensional gameplay. Here are the controls that will help you guide your bug:

• Forward button or D: Move towards the right.
• Backward button or A: Move towards the left.
• Hold-press the Forward button: Consume stamina and tackle.
• Guard button or Q: Block incoming attacks.

Using a combination of these four abilities, you can efficiently control your bug to do your bidding.
